NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"Master, have you ever heard that in a very long time ago, um... should I say ancient times, there was such a rule?"

"What rules?"

"That means if you see a girl's body, you must be responsible for her until the end. Otherwise, your innocence will be tarnished and you will never be able to get married in this life."

Hearing the sound of him entering the water, Honglian's lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly reached out and stroked his strong chest: "Master, you walked into this pool so rudely, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll yell 'lecher' and call all the girls in the castle over to show them how frivolous you are."

"You……"

"Is it too late to tarnish your innocence now?"

"Pfft, haha!"

Honglian looked at his helpless and embarrassed expression and couldn't help but chuckled twice: "I just like your humorous tone, young master, but if you really ask this question, then I would say..."

"It's not too late."

Honglian took advantage of his lack of reaction and clasped his palm tightly, then took the initiative to kiss him.

The water in the pond is quiet and only the rustling sound of the breeze can be heard among the bamboo forest.

After kissing deeply for a long time, Honglian finally sighed and leaned lazily in his arms, paddling the waves with her toes, enjoying this moment of rest.

"If only life on earth could be this peaceful and tranquil every day..."

"For me, that's probably more joyful than doing anything else."

"We will. One day we will all retire."

Green flicked away a strand of algae debris tangled on her cheek and said, "Little Red Riding Hood has already told you all, you old fellows who have lived for a century are already at retirement age."

"Speaking of which, I think you and the long-haired Snow White are truly so noble that it's a little hard to understand. You clearly don't need to persist in your so-called mission anymore, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of glory, and so on. Why do you still keep fighting, Honglian?"

"Maybe it's just to relieve my anger."

Honglian smiled subtly and said softly, "I always feel like I can still contribute something to this world, so I just muddle through the days."

"To be honest, Master, life on the surface is not easy. There were times when I even thought about giving up."

“But as the saying goes, when you are still, you want to move; when you move, you want to be still.”

"For people like us, retiring and giving up before we achieve our goals will ultimately amount to nothing more than a few complaints. Until we finally accomplish our mission, retirement will never be possible."

"So I have survived with this breath, and it hasn't stopped until today."

"Then you have to promise me that you will live until the day you retire."

Green held her palm tightly and whispered in her ear: "Just like today, I want to see the scenery of that day with you."

"..."

"oops."

"This is truly a love statement that's as alluring and life-threatening as a curse."

Honglian turned her head slightly to hide her slightly blushing cheeks.

She is a reserved Nikki, someone who doesn’t like to show her emotions much.

No matter how strong the fire in one's heart is, one will almost never say anything straightforward.

Because of this, she prefers delicate and tactful love words rather than simple "I love you".

"Master, please don't worry about me."

"Worry more about yourself."

"Until that day comes, you must stay alive."

"Ah."

"Of course I will live. I guess there is no one in this world who has won more resurrection matches than me."

Green shook his head and jokingly joked about his bull-like physique: "I can't even remember how many times I've had a hole in my stomach, but I'm still alive and well. Maybe I'm just naturally resistant to stabs. Never mind, a strong physique is a good thing. At least I'm not as fragile as the average person."

“But still be careful.”

"Promise me you won't take any more risks, okay?"

Honglian blinked subtly and made her request: "I know you have a fiery temper and are unwilling to compromise, but this world still holds many unknown dangers. If you continue to be like before, willing to risk everything and block all your escape routes, you will eventually be driven to a dead end."

"Yes."

"But if we don't take risks, how can we extract more information from Letcher? How can we save this cruel world?"

"Risk means reward. If I have enough power to control the risk, I don't mind giving it a try."

Although Green knew that Honglian was worried about him, he still had the spirit of adventure in his blood.

Although stable operation is also a way.

But spending decades to savor it slowly would be too long. If possible, he planned to make a name for himself in these few years when he was young and strong.

If he could get information about Queen Letcher's whereabouts, he would probably plan to launch an unprecedented decapitation operation.

Gather all the Nikkis who can be mobilized on the ground, break into the Queen's base, and completely eliminate the source of all this chaos.

"Ugh."

"As expected, most people are like this, it's easy to change the situation but hard to change one's nature."

"Master, please be more cautious in the future."

Honglian reached out and caressed his cheek for a while, feeling somewhat distressed. Then she whispered, "If you were gone, I would have no one to worry about anymore."

"..."

"Let's eat."

"The food is getting cold."

"It's up to you."

Honglian simply washed her clothes, shoes and socks, and then placed them on the stones to dry.

And she changed into the exquisite red and white kimono.

This kimono was very loose, and the waist belt was tied with a cute bow. It didn't look like something Honglian would buy specially, because when she put it on her, it quickly looked like it was about to slip off.

"Hurry up and eat, Master."

"What could be more tempting than a table full of good wine and delicious food..."

Honglian sat casually on a rock, holding a wine glass in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

Her lazy, half-exposed shoulders and slightly tipsy expression looked so beautiful under the autumn sky.

Green stared at the kimono-clad beauty in front of him for a long while before softly praising, "If there's anything more tempting than a table full of fine wine and delicious food, I think it's the woman sitting before me right now."

"Do you know what I saw?"

"A lotus flower."

"The lotus is a gentleman among flowers, rising from the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being coquettish."

"If Honglian is a lotus, then it must be the most beautiful one in the pond. Just one look at it makes me feel a little lost."

"..."

Honglian was also a little shy after what he said.

She is an unparalleled master of swordsmanship and a mentor who loves to preach, but she is not good at dealing with such subtle and implicit love words.

Feeling embarrassed and angry, she suddenly picked up the wine glass, and somewhat rudely hugged him in her arms, and then forced him to drink a glass of wine.

"All he does all day is talk nonsense, which makes me feel itchy and burning."

"Master, people like you deserve to be punished!"

"Come to think of it, there's still plenty of time today, and there's such a beautiful sunset and moonlight waiting for you and me to enjoy... So I'll punish you by making you get hungover with me."

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of drunkenness.

323

Chapter 323: I have it in this life.

It was very peaceful here in the castle.

In a wilderness far away from the castle, Indivilla and Xiaocao, who had returned from their defeat, were resting and sheltering from the rain.

Although as Letcher, he is basically not afraid of rain.

But what Indivilla hates most is behavior that is not dignified and elegant enough.

Getting caught in the rain was not part of her plan, just like the bullet that Snow White shot her with was not part of her plan.

"Well……"

"It's been a whole day, but my body still shows no signs of recovery."

Indivia stroked the huge wound on her abdomen caused by Shirayuki's anti-ship rifle. Although it looked terrible, due to the immortality of the heretics, wounds of this severity could usually heal in a few minutes.

But now, a whole day had passed since yesterday's battle, and the huge hole in her abdomen was still so desolate and miserable, and one could vaguely see some blood-like liquid oozing out of her veins.

"Uh……"

"It hurts."

Indivilla touched her wound, recalling yesterday's fight, but a hint of trance appeared on her face.

After becoming a heretic, she felt real pain and fear for the first time in her life.

The desire to live that came from the heart while struggling on the line between life and death finally replaced the arrogance in her heart at that moment yesterday and became the dominant emotion in her heart.

This feeling of falling from the altar made Indivilla feel mixed emotions for a moment.

The humans and humanoids whom she once looked down upon almost cut off her head and sentenced her to death.

What a terrifying thing this is...

But time is on her side after all.

Although the recovery was very slow, Indivilla could feel that some of her abilities were still retained, such as the "predation" ability that all heretics possessed.

The so-called predation is the ability to speed up the body's recovery by devouring other Letchers or metal debris. This is a basic skill that all heretics possess. In a sense, the difference between heretics and ordinary Letchers lies here.

Only a Letcher that possesses this ability can be called a heretic. If one does not even have this basic hunting ability, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a low-level Letcher who acts on instinct.

After thinking for a while, Indivilla coughed and called up Xiaoxiang who was also sitting next to her.

"Xiaocao, could you please go get some food?"

"Mmmm... I'll say it again, I'm not your subordinate. You have no right to order me to do anything."

"Besides, I've already saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have died at their hands long ago. Please be grateful to me. Of course, I know you won't. So just shut up and let me have a good rest."

Xiaocao grumbled, and his body, which was riddled with wounds from Snow White, was trembling slightly. It seemed that he was in great pain.

Indivilla pondered for a moment.

She knew that Xiaocao was quite resentful of him now, but the gorilla seemed to have shown some unique qualities after devouring Nihilista's parts.

Most likely, he has also begun to evolve.

"Xiaoxiao, I know you must be quite dissatisfied with me now."

"But now is not the time to be angry."

"Because a unique change is happening to you, and as someone who has been through it myself, I can guide you on how to enter this stage correctly."

Indivilla raised her lips and began to coax her. "Don't you want to be as beautiful as me? This perfect body, if you devour some low-level Letchers, you might be able to evolve successfully."

"Why reject my proposal?"

"Well……"

"Did you find out?"

Xiaocao was silent for a while before answering in a hoarse voice.

He had just discovered that some kind of mutation had occurred in his body, and this mutation seemed to be giving him some special abilities. He could feel that after devouring Nihilista's parts, he was indeed at a critical point of evolution.

If he only needs to prey on some low-level Letchers or Nikkis, perhaps he can directly advance to the heretic-level Letcher.
